Backwards

About this book

"In Backwards, Bui continues to look at Ma as both as a parent and as a woman. The reader is taken on a nonlinear trip back in time through the birth of the author’s brothers and sisters, some of whom survive and others that don’t. Her parents, depicted as young and stylish Vietnamese at the beginning of their family journey, deal with a world that is changing emotionally within them and politically in front of them."
